How Heartgard Plus works
Heartgard Plus prevents canine heartworm disease by eliminating the tissue stage of heartworm larvae (Dirofilaria immitis) for a month (30 days) after infection and for the treatment and control of ascarids (Toxocara canis, Toxascaris leonina) and hookworms (Ancylostoma caninum, Uncinaria stenocephala, Ancylostoma braziliense).
How can you properly administer Heartgard Plus?
Heartgard Plus (ivermectin/pyrantel) should be administered orally at monthly intervals at the recommended minimum dose level of 6 mcg of ivermectin per kilogram (2.72 mcg/lb) and 5 mg of pyrantel (as pamoate salt) per kg (2.27 mg/lb) of body weight. The recommended dosing schedule for the prevention of canine heartworm disease and for the treatment and control of ascarids and hookworms is as follows:
Dog Weight Chewables per month Ivermectin Pyrantel Color coding
Up to 25 lbs 1 68 mcg 57 mcg Blue
26 to 50 lbs 1 136 mcg 114 mcg Green
51 to 100 lbs 1 272 mcg 228 mcg Brown
Heartgard Plus is recommended for dogs 6 weeks of age and older. For dogs over 100 lb use the appropriate combination of these chewables.
What are the precautions in using Heartgard Plus?
All dogs should be tested for existing heartworm infection before starting treatment with Heartgard Plus which is not effective against adult D. immitis. Infected dogs must be treated to remove adult heartworms and microfilariae before initiating a program with Heartgard Plus. While some microfilariae may be killed by the ivermectin in Heartgard Plus at the recommended dose level, Heartgard Plus is not effective for microfilariae clearance. A mild hypersensitivity-type reaction, presumably due to dead or dying microfilariae and particularly involving a transient diarrhea, has been observed in clinical trials with ivermectin alone after treatment of some dogs that have circulating microfilariae.

Top quality heartworm medication
I could not believe how fast the heartguard arrived after ordering it. I keep all of our dogs on this medication and it works well.I am very pleased with your company for making the ordering convenient.
Quality Product - Great Price
I ordered the heartgard on my first order from petshed, and I could not be more pleased. This is an Australian version of the same product, but imy dog couldn't tell the difference - a treat is a treat to him! And honestly, what a great price! I switched over to nuheart, the pill version for financial reasons (I am equally as pleased with that product), but if I needed/wanted to purchase the chewables, Petshed is the only provider I would recommend.
Thank You Pet Shed!
I would like to thank Pet Shed for helping me keep my two yellow labs healthy. Ordering my Heartgard Plus through Pet Shed is not only quick and reliable, but I feel I can trust them with my beloved pet's health. Thank you for giving pet owners a way to keep their pets healthy.
Excellent
Our dogs (1 large, 1 medium and 1 small) would not take the pills and we were at a loss as to how to get themt o take their heartworm meds. We tried the chewables on a hunch and they love them. They think they are getting a treat not meds, so they sit willingly for them. ECELLENT
Heartgard - Don't leave home without it
All of my dogs have always been on Heartgard and it has provided 100% protection. An added bonus is that they like the taste of it and view it as a monthly treat. I wouldn't dare go a month without it.
Heartgard Plus Brown
Been using this product for many years for all my dogs and it is easy to administer because the dogs love the taste. Protection is great for heartworm and several types of worms, all the Vet checkups confirm no trace of any infections. This is my first purchase from Petshed and I found it a pleasant experience and was very glad I could use my Paypal account at checkout. I created an account and was awarded a $5.00 coupon to use on my first purchase. Thanks Petshed, I plan on making this my main store for my pet supply shopping from now on.
